Takodan
Creature Name: Takoda
General
Description
Takodan are by nature incredibly friendly. They are a bear type creature roughly
the size of a terran Rottweiler. They were originally found in the northern
reaches of the single continent on the planet Dai'Wadeeya. Now however many
have gotten attached to and followed travelers south through the mountain
passes onto the plains as well. What makes the Takodan unusual is that in
the area that they come from originally most creatures are white or other
light colors to blend in with the almost year long snow, Takodan most of the
time are not. Though they all have the ability to camouflage themselves if
in danger, normally their coloring is that of one of many different precious
stones. The different stones that the Takodan's coat mimics represent one
of 11 different abilities.
